DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to allow 50% protected time for the PI to continue and build on her extant patient-oriented research program on oral-specific, health-related quality of life in children and their families and mentor junior faculty and students in research. The specific aims of her research include the following: 1. Continue to develop, evaluate, refine and validate a measure of pediatric OQOL (POQOL) for use with children and adolescents. This will include evaluation of feasibility, responsiveness to change and reliability. 2. For each of the four age-appropriate versions of the POQOL instrument, develop a comparable Spanish-Language version that is sensitive to cultural variations in the meanings of the concepts measured. 3. Explore potential sources of disparities in oral health by combining the POQOL assessments with other clinical, demographic and psychosocial measures. 4. Develop short-form measures of POQOL suitable for use as screening measures in pediatric medical practices, schools, and other sites. Using the research entailed in the specific aims as a platform for further studies and a rich source of data, the PI will mentor junior faculty and students in the responsible conduct of patient-oriented research. Specific topics covered with each mentee will include, but are not limited to the following: 1. ethical conduct in research and research writing; 2. conceptual underpinnings of research and the selection of an appropriate conceptual model; 3. research methods, including formulation of research questions and hypotheses, study design, sample selection and recruitment, selection and specification of outcome measures and independent variables, study procedures, data collection and management, and data analysis/interpretation; 4. preparation of manuscripts and their publication in peer-reviewed journals; and 5. preparations of posters and slide presentations to present to national, regional and local scientific meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是为PI提供50％的保护时间，并在其现存的以患者为导向的研究计划上，涉及儿童及其家人及其家人，导师初级教师和研究学生的面向患者的研究计划。她的研究的具体目的包括：1。继续开发，评估，完善和验证儿童和青少年使用的小儿OQOL（POQOL）。这将包括评估可行性，对变更的响应能力和可靠性。 2。对于POQOL仪器的四个适合年龄的版本中的每一个，都会开发出可比的西班牙语版本，该版本对所测量概念的含义中的文化变化敏感。 3。通过将POQOL评估与其他临床，人口统计学和社会心理措施相结合，探索口腔健康差异的潜在来源。 4。制定适合用作儿科医疗实践，学校和其他地点的筛查措施的POQOL的简短措施。利用特定目标中的研究作为进一步研究的平台和丰富的数据来源，PI将指导初级教师和学生负责以患者为导向的研究。每个受训者涵盖的具体主题将包括但不限于以下内容：1。研究和研究写作中的道德行为； 2。研究的概念基础和选择适当的概念模型； 3。研究方法，包括研究问题和假设的制定，研究设计，样本选择和招聘，结果指标和独立变量的选择和规范，研究程序，数据收集和管理以及数据分析/解释； 4。编写手稿及其在同行评审期刊上的出版物；和5。海报和幻灯片介绍的准备，将向国家，地区和地方科学会议介绍。
